Citizens question SIC's integrity, accountability
The Free Press Journal
|November 25, 2024
Hearing dates, Roznama updates not consistently uploaded on web, leaving citizens uninformed
Citizens from Mumbai have voiced concerns over troubling practices at the State Information Commission (SIC) offices, which they claim undermine the integrity and efficiency of the institution. These issues severely impact their right to information and call for immediate corrective action.
One of the primary issues highlighted is the lack of transparency in the operations of the SIC. Hearing schedules and updates, known as Roznama, are not consistently uploaded on the official website, leaving citizens uninformed about the status of their cases. This failure in regular communication hampers accessibility and diminishes accountability within the commission. SIC officials could not be contacted for their comment.
